Ever wanted to ride Unbound or race the Leadville 100 but haven’t had luck in the lottery? Dreaming of a bike tour through Greece or a signed World Champion jersey from Tadej Pogačar to decorate your walls? All this, and more, is up for bid in USA Cycling’s annual fundraiser, running 5–10 November.
The money raised will go toward funding the USA Cycling team’s training camps, travel costs and “high-performance support.” Unlike most other nations represented at the Olympics, the U.S. national cycling programme does not receive direct government funding; instead, it relies on private donations, in part gathered at events like the fundraiser.
Online bidding opens tomorrow, yet some select items will be available exclusively during the Foundation’s Bicycles & Bluegrass fundraiser on Saturday, November 8th.
